Scene 1.

Antonio.
Thus by great favour of propitious Stars,
From fearfull storms, shipwrack, and raging billows,
Mercilesse jaws of Death, am I return'd
To th'safe and quiet bosome of my Country,
And wish'd embracements of my Friends and Kindred.
The memory of these misfortunes past,
Seasons the welcome, and augments the pleasure
I shall receive of my sonne Lelio,
And daughter Flavia. So doth alloy


Make gold, that else were uselesse, serviceable.
So the rugged forehead of a threatning Mountain,
Threatens the smoothnesse of a smiling Valley.
